this photo was taken in September 2021, the weather changed drastically upon arriving from+ temperature to minus. Today as I write this it's -18 celcius feeling like -26 in GTA, probably will be the coldest day of the year, and so I wanted to post something that really represented ccccCold .:) ❄️💙 A glacier will do ok! 😁
This stunning glacier is opposite Smeerenburg, just across Fairhaven from Amsterdam and Danes islands, North Svalbard, Norway.
When I was composing and making this photograph, it was clear to me what I wanted it to be about. I wanted it to emphasize the two most important components that characterize this landscape: rock and ice. I also wanted this photo to tell the story of how these two components have shaped this land by constantly colliding with each other. The slow and quiet but unimaginably strong glacier force was able to transform masses of rock into this beautiful and dramatic landscape.
Glacier National Park, MT
The destination for one of our hikes in Glacier was Grinnell Glacier, which has retreated enough that now it has its own lake, full of little icebergs. It was a stunning location, so amazing to see!
From Wiki: Yale Glacier is a 20-mile-long (32 km) glacier in the U.S. state of Alaska. It begins between Mount Cardozo and Mount Einstein and trends southwest to Yale Arm of College Fjord, 47 miles (76 km) west of Valdez. It was named for Yale University by members of the 1899 Harriman Alaska Expedition.
While staying in Brig, Switzerland, we lucked out and got a lovely day to head to Zermott and take the cog train up to Gornergrat to see the Matterhorn and the nearby glaciers. (12-09-23-2943)
Crowfoot Glacier is located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, 32 km (20 mi) northwest of Lake Louise, and can be viewed from the Icefields Parkway. The glacier is situated on the northeastern flank of Crowfoot Mountain.
Crowfoot Glacier is east of the Continental divide, and runoff from the glacier supplies water to the Bow River. The glacier has retreated since the end of the Little ice age and now has lost one entire lobe; it therefore no longer resembles the glacier which early explorers named.
12.1.2020, Elephant Island, Antarctica
Elephant Island is an ice-covered, mountainous island off the coast of Antarctica in the outer reaches of the South Shetland Islands, in the Southern Ocean. The island is situated 245 kilometres (152 miles) north-northeast of the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, 1,253 kilometres (779 miles) west-southwest of South Georgia, 935 kilometres (581 miles) south of the Falkland Islands, and 885 kilometres (550 miles) southeast of Cape Horn. It is within the Antarctic claims of Argentina, Chile and the United Kingdom.
Endurance expedition:
The island was the desolate refuge of the British explorer Ernest Shackleton and his crew in 1916 following the loss of their ship Endurance in the pack ice of the Weddell Sea. The crew of 28 reached Cape Valentine on Elephant Island after months spent drifting on ice floes and a harrowing crossing of the open ocean in small lifeboats.[3] After camping at Cape Valentine for two nights, Shackleton and his crew moved 11 km (7 mi) west to a small, rocky spit at the terminus of a glacier, which offered better protection from rockfalls and from the sea, and which they called Point Wild.
Realizing that there was no chance of passive rescue, Shackleton decided to sail to South Georgia, where he knew there were several whaling stations. Shackleton sailed with Tom Crean, Frank Worsley, Harry "Chippy" McNish, Tim McCarthy, and John Vincent on an 1,300 km (800 mi) voyage in the open lifeboat James Caird beginning on Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, and arriving at South Georgia 16 days later. His second-in-command, Frank Wild, was left in charge of the remaining party on Elephant Island, waiting for Shackleton's return with a rescue ship.[4]
There was much work for the stranded men. Because the island had no natural source of shelter, they constructed a shack and wind blocks from their remaining two lifeboats and pieces of canvas tents. Blubber lamps were used for lighting. They hunted for penguins and seals, neither of which were plentiful in autumn or winter. Shackleton instructed Wild to depart with the crew for Deception Island if he did not return to rescue them by the beginning of summer, but after four and a half months, on August 30, 1916, the artist George Marston spotted a ship. The ship, with Shackleton on board, was the tug Yelcho, from Punta Arenas, Chile, commanded by Luis Pardo, which rescued all the men who had set out on the original expedition.

We had a wonderful walk with rampons on a glacier...........a unique experience.
Parque Nacional Los Glaciares is a national park in the Santa Cruz Province, in Argentine Patagonia. It comprises an area of 4459 km².[1] In 1981 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Its name refers to the giant ice cap in the Andes range that feeds 47 large glaciers, of which only 13 flow towards the Atlantic Ocean.
The ice cap is the largest outside of Antarctica and Greenland. In other parts of the world, glaciers start at a height of at least 2,500 meters above mean sea level, but due to the size of the ice cap, these glaciers begin at only 1,500m, sliding down to 200m AMSL, eroding the surface of the mountains that support them.

The Athabasca Glacier (300 metres deep underfoot) on the Icefields Parkway, BC, Canada - Each of those massive Vehicles cost $1.5m and look at those tyre tracks! Also note the miniature (?) glaciers in the top area of the image.
We approached this massive glacier in a very small jet boat, weaving in and out of icebergs. If you could imagine the boat in front of the glacier, the boat would
be a half-inch high.
The Aletsch Glacier (Aletschgletscher) is the largest glacier in the Alps located in the Bernese Alps, Switzerland. In 2014 it was 23 km long. However, like most glaciers in the world the Aletsch Glacier is gradually retreating. Between 1980 and 2016 it lost 1.3 km in length.
The glacier is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch Protected Area, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001.
I took the photo from Moosfluh, near Bettmeralp, Switzerland.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / favs!
Nigardsbreen is a glacier arm of the large Jostedalsbreen glacier in Jostedalen valley, Luster, Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway.
Hubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier on the North American continent. It has been thickening and advancing toward the Gulf of Alaska since it was first mapped by the International Boundary Commission in 1895 (Davidson, 1903).

Hubbard Glacier is a glacier located in eastern Alaska and part of Yukon, Canada, and named after Gardiner Hubbard
Photo taken at the Birkdalsbreen (glacier) in Norway. This is the landscape left behind after the glacier has retracted hundreds of years ago.
Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is an American national park located in Southeast Alaska west of Juneau. The Park is named for its abundant tidewater and terrestrial glaciers, numbering 1,045 in total. At the center of the picture you can see a long glacier decending from the mountain. Like a river of ice, a glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries.
